i. The evaporation of water from the stomata present on the surface of the leaves is called transpiration.
ii. The xylem tissues join together and forms a continuous network of channels that connects roots to the leaves through the stem and branches and thus transports water to all parts of the plant.
iii. The root hair increases the surface area of the root for the absorption of water and mineral nutrients dissolved in water.
iv. Phloem tissues join together and form long tube which transport food from leaves to other parts of the plant body.
